What is analysing the contribution?Show answer
A balanced analysis weighs both sides. On the constructive side, the teachings and organisations of both traditions have advanced reconciliation, relief of suffering, advocacy for justice and interfaith cooperation, and have inspired adherents toward peacemaking. Honestly, religious difference has at times been used to justify conflict, and adherents do not always live up to the teachings. The net contribution is best judged through the concrete peace-building work of organisations and individuals, which shows religion as a significant force for world peace when its teachings on justice and reconciliation are put into practice.
